Aquarium Advice Regular
I just got a metal halide fixture yesterday.
To be specific....its an
Aqualight Advanced Series HQI Metal Halide Fixture

Anyways, two patches of the button ployps wont open, and the ones that are open look really ugly, like half open.... the mushroom coarls are doing okay on the side without the light directly at it, the parts where light is strongest is not fully inflated.
My question is, is my 150watt lamp too bright for a 10 gallon tank, fuge and sump are aother 20 gallons, so total water is 30 gallon, but the main display is 10 gallon.
is there a period where these corals have to adapt to the new lighting? Im just afraid the intensity might kill them off.... the bulb i have is at 14000k bulb.
Perior to this upgrade i was using a 20" Coralife power compact power strip with a quad 50/50 at 96watts.
maybe its time for a bigger tank....
